TX-hagerman NWR-grain drill

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge is requesting quotations for a grain drill with a quotation deadline of August 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST. This is not a small business set-aside. The grain drill will replace a 2003 John Deere 450 model and introduce wildlife food crops for field operations and public wildlife viewing at the refuge in Sherman, Texas.

The equipment must meet specific operational requirements: overall width no wider than 15.5 feet while traveling, grain planting disbursement of at least 13 feet wide with 7.5-inch row spacing, adjustable seed placement depth, double disk opener boots with scrapers, built-in seed meter, and 2 x 13 depth press wheels. Vendors must submit descriptive literature with pictures demonstrating compliance with all criteria. Delivery is required within 60 days after receipt of order to 6465 Refuge Road, Sherman, TX 75092.

Evaluation will follow Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology based on three pass/fail factors: technical acceptability, past performance (with neutral rating if no information available), and price reasonableness. A firm-fixed price contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. Questions must be submitted by August 12, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST to Mary Rawlinson at Mary_Rawlinson@ios.doi.gov. Quotations must remain valid for at least 60 calendar days from the RFQ closing date. Payment requests must be submitted electronically through the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) system. All GSA provisions and clauses from the quoter's GSA MAS contract are incorporated.
